As I have argued elsewhere -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29929745 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29929745 ADHD is a neurophysiological defect, and cannot be changed by just trying to "will" it away or by doing certain lifestyle changes. Granted, they can make it easier, but they do not solve the problem at it's source. In a general reply to this entire thread -- trying to focus actually makes people with ADHD less successful at concentrating. So if you have ADHD, trying to force work is unlikely to help, and more likely to make the issue worse.
